Job Description
The Radionuclide Production and Molecular Radiotherapy Research Laboratories in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Washington (Seattle WA) is seeking candidates for a full time Postdoctoral Scholar research position in radionuclide production for molecular radiotherapy. Our research group develops and evaluates radiochemistry methods that can be applied to produce and purify therapeutic and theranostic radionuclides as well as development of radiolabeling reagents/chelators used for attaching radionuclides to biological targeting molecules such as monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) for cancer therapy. Preclinical research in astatine211labeled MAbs conducted by our group has been translated to the clinic and is presently being evaluated in multiple human trials. This position will assist in developing new cancer therapies commit to laboratory safety and work independently. The incumbent will learn about radiochemical methods and work with radionuclides in the development of production methods and new radiopharmaceuticals. Our research is a team effort and the candidate will be required to participate in a number of aspects of the research as desired and needed.
The University of Washington Medical Cyclotron Facility is capable of producing variable energy proton deuteron alpha and high energy neutron beams for radionuclide production. The Postdoctoral Scholar in our research group will collaborate with UW Materials Science research groups and cyclotron engineers to develop new target designs for irradiations. It is planned that the candidate will visit and work with our collaborators at National Laboratories and other universities to develop production methods including purification and radiolabeling of medical radionuclides. The radiopharmaceuticals under development will be evaluated in animal models through collaborations with investigators in other research groups at the UW and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. The initial appointment is one year 12 month) and the appointment is renewable depending upon performance and availability of funding. Anticipated start date is July 1 2025 or earlier.
Postdoctoral scholars are represented by UAW 4121 and are subject to the collective bargaining agreement unless agreed exclusion criteria apply. For more information please visit the University of WashingtonLabor Relations website.
The base salary range for this position will be: $5705 $ 7400 per month $68460 $88800 annually) commensurate with experience and qualifications or as mandated by a U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage determination.
Candidates should have a PhD or foreign equivalent in Radiochemistry Organic Chemistry Medicinal Chemistry Materials Science or a field closely related to those listed.
